Old Forester King Ranch Bourbon Whisky 750mL

Old Forester King Ranch Bourbon Whisky is a distinctive Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey created through a collaboration between Old Forester and the legendary King Ranch of Texas. The bourbon is finished through a proprietary process using heavily charred King Ranch mesquite charcoal, bringing a uniquely Texas-inspired layer of smoke and wood character to Old Forester’s classic bourbon profile. Bottled at 105 proof (52.5% ABV), this limited expression combines Kentucky bourbon tradition with the rugged heritage of one of America’s most historic ranches.

Rich caramel and vanilla aromas are complemented by dark chocolate, toasted nuts, and subtle mesquite smoke. The palate is full-bodied and warming, delivering layers of brown sugar, maple, dark fruit, cocoa, spice, and smoky char. A long finish brings lingering caramel, pepper, toasted oak, and mesquite smoke.
